dvd player buying advice
I am looking to buy a DVD player as a `second unit`.
I`d be looking to get an inexpensive unit this time, for occasional use only. I know, as a tech, that with electronics you get what you pay for. However, I dont have much experience with low end DVD players and so my question is: What is the general feeling on budget priced (around 40 uk pounds) players? Such as those sold in Argos, Index Asda (the UK version of Wal mart) and so on? Are there any which stand out as bargains or are these players all total junk? Any techs out there seen huge numbers of returns for any particular brand? If so, which are best avoided? should I just avoid them entirely and go for a brand name again? (After reading the thread "most reliable dvd player" the general impression seems to be that, of the `name brands`, Sony, Panasonic, pioneer, and Toshiba come recommended (depite Sony spares prices being prohibitively priced as usual). Any further (or more up to date) comments on that? thanks for any comments and tips regards, Ben |
